Part of the PIYN programme for 2010, and again in 2011, is the use of new media technologies. In May 2010 we gave out 10 Flip cameras to aspiring ethnic creatives, with the help of our partners ARMS & Auckland City Council.

The idea is to begin a process of participatory media enabling community and democratic showcasing and broadcast, for some groups who traditionally (due to culture and socio-economic factors), don’t normally have access to broadcasting.

We are starting to see the beginnings of footage uploaded online, which is encouraging – including from the PIYN show itself, and from various young ethnic creative leaders.
Below is a video from the 2010 show, enjoy!
